I have to say I’m completely stunned at the speed of this, but there is already a tribute record out called “Better on the Other Side”, and it’s actually pretty decent. At the heart of the song is The Game rapping, with Chris Brown singing the hook. Mario Winans and Boyz II Men also pop in, and Diddy gives the eulogy at the end of the track.
Not to be left out, 50 Cent also tosses a track out to the world called “Where You Are”, which samples MJ in his younger days. Once again, not a bad track at all. Gotta love how quickly music can be put out for the public when there’s motivation to do so.

I caught the tributes today. Dang, they put something together quicker than Band Aid!
Yeah…Sirius even has a 24-hour MJ channel now.
it’s amazing how quick the tv tributes came together too – there was a different albeit all the same show on nearly every main channel and most the cable channels last night in the UK. I’m particularly feeling Man In The Mirror, Will You Be There and Keep The Faith today
I seem to be leaning towards later Jacksons singles like “Can You Feel It” and “Torture”. Good stuff!
Wasn’t Michael working on new material the last couple of years? I wonder how quickly some of that might surface. It would certainly sell well if released soon.
Let’s hope there isn’t a Tupac scenario brewing, with album after album of retreads over the next few years.
The thought is nice but I’ll stick to La Toya’s “He’s My Brother” as far as MJ tributes go:
I wouldn’t expect any less, Mike.
